"Numbness and rage. Fright and anger. I open my eyes. Oh, well. My cell is pitch dark anyhow. "Block E1". I heard their inhuman voices. Lying on this cold metal bed, I stretch my arms along my sides. This must be the right posture to fit in a pod. I do not tolerate the idea of not being ready.
Yes, but ready for what? No, I won't give way to grief.
A squeaky sound... No, no way. It can't be true. The door opens, light replaces darkness. I will ask for a reason later. Now I have a choice to take. An easy one. I will run the hell out of here, whatever it takes. It's time to get a little revenge.
It's time to start my own riot act. "

First off congrats with the release!
On to the MOD itself:
1.Graphics
Wery well thought out levels/a few flaws here and there but, hell, every one has them/. Sadly they are kinda repetative, a plus is that some places do remind me a lot of some places in HL2, meanin a great job fitting your leves in the HL2 setting and enviroment.
Nice and optimised as far I could tell.
2.Sound
A nice sounding voices though they could have been better, still far far better that what an average MOD would offer/if any ;) /. Other than that nice usage of the ambien sounds.
Important to is the custom sound track........NICE, thumbs up. Not a perfect quality but still a very nice touch.I would loved them even more if they were lenghtier.
3.Gameplay
I must say was nicely surrpriZed how well the mod flows,from one place to another, how the different enviromnets blend from map to map. One thing though too little variety of enemies. Mostly Combine, just a few Zombies, and some headcrabs. Too blant. Nicely arranged boss fights and also nicely blended in the overall flow and goal of the mod. I really enjoied the last level and the fight. A nice basicly simple puzzle and an interesting setting for a grand finalle. Worthy of nothing in this line of thoughts are the puzzels in the MOD. First of all the wery pressense of such is a great plus, and they are all also nicely blended in the enviroments, and easy to solve after some exploration.
I had no problem getting past it. It only used its secondary attack once (although it did go through a wall to hit me), just get in the cart and take it out with the rpg.
I thought this was a pretty high quality mod, but the storyline seemed a bit sparse, given how few scripted sequences there were. Also it seemed like a lot of scenes were copies of those from HL2, right down to the ride in the prisoner pod. The scene at the end was pretty nice looking, and the puzzles were neat.
at least im not the only one
Yeah, seems to be a glitch. Had to use Buddha mode to get past it.
quick qeustion: why can i not get past the strider at the end? it keeps using its secondary attack and blowing me away (regardless if im behind a wall when it attacks). anyone else having this little issue?
well, the problem for me is that i cannot survive the secondary attack. one hit, and im dead. even when i set it to easy, it still kills me... that, and with only 3 rpg rounds, i can't kill it. is there a rpg restock container somewhere?
The other issue is that it wont stop doing it. every time i try to get past the bridge it uses the secondary attack (this happens after the train appears)
However, this is a great mod though. quite challenging at parts.
Hey i finished it earlier today. A great mod, some interesting things going on and some fun times to be had. The maps are amazing, when i walked out onto the traintrack near the end i was like... "wo" a supremely awesome mod!
Is it going to be released july 27? (tomorrow) Because i saw in your site that the download page (not only this one) is going to be "activated" July 27 :)
Very well done ! I like it a lot. Gave it 10-9-9. Thank you very much.
This mod is so well made that i has the feeling it was really an expansion to Half-Life 2,seriously it could have been.I mean it could be a good alternative to say how the citizen escape from Nova Prospect.The puzzle were interesting,the action sequence were top notch ,voice acting was good and the graphic were superb.Truly an excellent singlepayer mod.
